Elizabeth Slotnick
washington residence
This house was designed for a client who was looking for an
informal country retreat, with light-filled spaces that provide a
comfortable gathering place for extended family and friends, and
also a home for a large and eclectic collection of furniture and
objects. Public living spaces are oriented to the south, overlooking
the pastoral site. A pre-existing "kit house" was remodeled and
repurposed to serve as the library/guest wing. Personalized
features include an heirloom niche for the family grandfather
clock, a built-in "snore bed" in the master bedroom suite, and a
wine cellar with tasting room.
